There are: the fishery, mining, and other rights auctioned by the Japanese military beadquarters of the army of occupa tion, the control of the railways, and so on. Among the various financial schemes reported is a plan for a bank of which only Japanese and Russians may be shareholders, and of which four-fifths of the capital is to be Japanese. This bank will be in a supreme position in Siberia, and as the Russian laws, which are very strict against conces sions will apparently be relaxed only in favour of Japanese, it will not be long at the present rate of progress before Japan has a monopoly of all things in Siberia.
